I can't seem to find the thread where it was asked for me to detail my optimizations for T4FX/Aurora, so I'll make a new one here.
First off, addons.
• NoScript - Block Javascript unless you allow it.
• RequestPolicy - Block communication between servers unless you allow it
• AdBlockPlus - Block ads
• AdBlockPlus Pop-up Addon - Block popups
• Element Hiding Helper for ABP - Selectively eliminate elements you don't want on a page.
• Block Site - Block a site. Won't load - period. Useful to block offsite servers that RequestPolicy does not pick up. I.e., grapheffect.com is a site that Facebook calls when it loads. RequestPolicy does not even see it. But I have it on my blacklist with Block Site. No load, no overhead, page loads faster.
• RamBack - Jury is out on this one. Works sometimes, but have to use it repeatedly.
• Stylish - Style the web the way you want it. I don't need ABP on Facebook because the FB style I use with FB kills ads.

about:config
browser.cache.disk.enable;false - I have disabled disk caching.
browser.cache.disk.capacity;0 - Cache is zero because I disabled disk caching
browser.cache.memory.enable;true - I'm using only memory to cache
browser.cache.memory.capacity;128 - 128MB for memory caching
browser.cache.memory.max_entry_size;128 - Maximum usage for memory caching
network.http.pipelining;true - Allow multiple requests to the server
network.http.pipelining.aggressive;true - Like it sounds, aggresively making requests to the server. Supposedly network admins don't like this.
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests;8 - 8 requests is the max you can get. Putting in more doesn't do anything.
network.http.pipelining.ssl;true - Pipelining for HTTPS.
network.http.proxy.pipelining;true - Pipelining for proxy connections
nglayout.initialpaint.delay;0 - Start displaying the page IMMEDIATELY, don't wait for everything to be rendered.
network.http.use-cache;true - Caching a page after it's been loaded.
These relate to plugins/Flash and the process they run in (internal/external).
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled;false
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.i386;false
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.i386.flash player.plugin;false
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.i386.javaplugin2_npapi.plugin;false
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.i386.silverlight.plugin;false
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.libflashplayer.so;false
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.libnptest.so;false
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npctrl.dll;false
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npqtplugin.dll;false
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll;false
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.nptest.dll;false
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.x86_64;false
You may or may not have some/all of these settings. If you don't have a setting, create it by right clicking and selecting to create a new value. Boolean is True/False, Integer is for a number. String is if you are entering some sort of text.
I cannot guarantee anything. This may make things faster, it may make it worse. All I know is that finding all this junk and making it work on my machine has been an endless task of tweaking.
Hope that helps though.
